“I have watched Spurs in the last two games. They have conceded six goals, and a lot of the problems have down the right-hand side with Kyle Walker. I think it is a combination of positional play and bad concentration.”

Neville went on to explain the mistakes Walker made for the first two goals that Tottenham conceded against United, and the first and the third goals Spurs shipped in against Leicester.

“I am a big fan of Kyle Walker, but I think in the last two weeks, his levels have dropped below the standards is capable of,” added Neville.

As the following Opta Stats table shows, Walker did not have a great time in his last two Tottenham games, making just three tackles and effectively blocking only three crosses.
